honesty i don't miss out anything, i just assume that a new release from Samsung brings improvements and new stuff;) if you say its not true i would be the last man to doubt you.

i just love to update,may be its placebo effect:)

hope that Samsung will release something that will worth your time for update.

till than,I'll try some roms just for fun and will always return to VillainRom;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] torse1:
I love this rom and haven't done anything like wipe etc since ver 3.0 was out. This rom is outstanding!!

Try SpeedMod kernel link in sig it's very close to stock no OC/UV but the speed is amazing not tried latest but K2-18 Test 5 works very well.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
LOL. Tempting :)

I have not made any decision RE kernels or whatnot...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
TBH most updates add language support for other regions and CSCs.

I don't update because "OMG VERSION NUMBER BIGGER". I update because there's a recognised improvement or change :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
That's how it should always be :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Wonder if you was to change from 3.0 to 3.9 and just change the title of the thread to something Perfect has just become magical how many people would notice the difference? :D they be like woow its freaking awesome man (but only if they knew:D)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
SpeedMod is basically a kernel for people who don't want to customize anything, just flash and go. When I tested it though, I did have some freezes. Too many for my liking.

For similarity to ninphetamine, I would recommend Siyah. It's in very agressive stage of development right now and being improved every day to reach perfect stability soon.

I love this ROM, and your PM code in your sig ;)

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 PM ----------

I will second that, it's the most stable ROM I have had on a phone since MoDaCo back in my LG days, just set and forget.

Stability, speed, battery life, reliability.., it's perfect IMO...

And all the talk about different Kernels, why? Ninph 2.05 is fine IMO...

My SetCPU is set to 1600Mhz max 500 min (and On Demand) when screen is on but 800Mhz max 200 min screen off.. I also have Auto Sync off, and can go two days without a charge...

:cool:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Entropy512:
Some people just HAVE to flash over and over and over again...

If it ain't broke, don't fix it - and so far, I have yet to identify any reason to consider VR3.0 "broken" in any way. Well, other than its included kernel not having the fuel_alerted wakelock fix and a few other small kernel fixes... But that's a problem only for you I9100 people. :P Too much whining from flash-whores made one of your better kernel devs quit.

As opposed to, for example, CheckROM 3.1.1 which I've heard broke all sorts of stuff that used to work. One thing is - the more often a ROM dev rebases, the more likely themers will get frustrated and just say "****it, I'm not touching that ROM again".
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] PondaRox:
i appreciate the suggestion, but given the choice, i wouldn't have changed kernels at all. i'm new to sgs 2, and even ninphetamine hasn't made that much of a difference as far as i can see (BLN is nice, though). there's a reason the dev of this rom chose ninphetamine, so i decided on a newer version of that and if this doesn't pan out, i'm probably going to panic and run back to stock cf-root :o

still no problems on ninphetamine 2.1.3, btw

another thing i wanted to ask about: i really want to use this theme

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1334922

and i know this will be at the expense of tsm parts (which i'm also using)

but i have my doubts, because i've installed some vrtweaks ('Prevent notification and vibration when fully charged, disable separate icon from status bar', '*UPDATED* Remove 15% battery limit on camera, allow music while using camera, allow camera while using phone', 'Disable incrementing ringer', 'Make MMS support BLN' and 'Remove 10% limit on video'). so can i use this theme?

and ONE more thing, and i'll be off your back: i can use the camera at 15% battery and while playing music, but not while in a call. why?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Which is why people theming should use VRTheme, and not need to rebase :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hmmm. I made a tweak for that before. Perhaps it needs redone?

If the theme overwrites files. It likely removes your tweaks :( This is why people should theme using VRTheme on the 5th post, as it applies over the top of your rom, leaving tweaks in place :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] PondaRox:
the only (possibly) tweaked file being replaced is framework-res.apk

suppose i took that out of theme zip...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BrandoHD:
Sad, but true, many people don't know how many times this has happened :(

I hope Pulser and the other devs can continue to stay the course, I don't even know how they do it currently
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
That's the main file used by the theme :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
I don't even know why I stick about tbh... Too many "noobs" pretending to make roms. Just look at the ones getting constantly updated to fix the bugs they introduced in the previous one :p

If you want bugs added deliberately, then we can have regular updates to fix the self created bugs :p

Or we just don't add bugs, and thus don't need to update :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Sideburnt:
Its a hard balance to make, I can't remember who placed a link to one of your posts, but the skinny of it was that you work on these ROM's to encourage other people to be inquisitive and perhaps become the next CyanogenMod.

Sadly there is no proving ground and a lot of crummy ROMS get released on XDA, sold based on a skin rather than what's under the hood, a lot of adopters assume a level of expertise much higher than the case may be. Its like a honey trap, look at the shiney thing and don't look too deeply into the revisions, because like you say they fix bugs caused by previous releases, a false illusion of progression.

With a little knowledge personally I can see through the dross, and target ROMS that exibit the correct release management and development commitment. Yes, sure there's a bit of posturing and elitism in some of the more experienced kernel and ROM developers, but they're entitled to it, as long as there's a moral high ground to be taken, otherwise its just plain *****ing about the nature of a forum.

Stick with this Pulser, there are always other places to host your development, the sum total of XDA is feedback, if this works for you, great. Otherwise don't let this get to you man, I wish XDA would introduce a system of upvoting and downvoting of posts, this would highlight a commonly shared opinion, or fix, and deviate the dross to the bottom of the pile.

XDA at some point needs to cater to the developer. not the user. Otherwise this ship is sunk. Its an unhealthy environment sometimes, and yet every now and again It works the way it should and I have to remind myself that it's not supposed to be about 20,000 post threads and ****-hat comments. Its about shared knowledge.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] arkerio:
this is my first time on this thread

is any new rom coming ?

srry for asking :|
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] emilcioran99:
Personaly don't think that XDA will do something like this ever, because at the end all is about comercial and all it's about the king of our world: the MONEY...

Unfortunately... :(

Pulser, you need to talk to Chuck about this things...

LOL
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
that just made me spit my tea out laughing:D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Uhm did you read ANY of the preceding twenty posts?

Why is there a need for an update?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] emilcioran99:
Was somebody in front of you when this was happened?

If yes, so... he will be lucky today. :eek:

LOL
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
XDA is about developers. The problem is that users allow "wannabes" to see themselves as developers.

I would love to see where everyone would be right now, without the contributions of maybe 10 individuals on this site. Too many people here couldn't replicate the work of the real developers...

Example? The first custom ROM available for the SGS2 was this one. Until then, nobody had done anything much, barring chainfire and rooting :) After someone figured out how to modify ROMs, a flood of themed junk ensued...

But how many roms would there be, if those with the skills and knowledge to get things started decided to keep it to themselves? I don't envisage many. I know for a fact it took about a week for anyone else to figure out how to extract and build an SGS2 rom. It's not hugely hard, but it wasn't just a one click process...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Haha

I have some market problems here :

- I do often see the message : your device is incompatible.. This is driving me crazy!

So i cannot install the free your android app. :-(

What can I do? Thanks for any helpful suggestions!

Running latest VR after full wipe. DPi set to 210 / switzerland German locale.

Alredy tried clear market cache / installed old market / change dpi to 240 without luck.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
No no one in front of me but the pc screen felt the full throttle of it:D had to clean it twice to get rid of the tea:D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
Try clearing market data aswell you shouldnt have any problem with dpi at 240.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] o_tiger:
Thanks, that worked! 240 is really to big for me. So I have to change dpi settings to update or download some apps? Do you all have default dpi? How are you handling this?

Wondering: do we have a way to tell the market - I am running at 240 dpi - kind of faking the fingerprint? That would be awesome!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
Glad you got it sorted :)

i use 240 as i find any other setting creates very ugly banding in certain apps.

You could try installing the old market then wiping cache and data, i thought the old market didn't have this problem.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
I don't know, perhaps we could enable more resolutions or dpis???

I don't do the app stuff so I don't really know tbh...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:

Is there any MMS -nolimit mods compatible with this ROM that could be added to VR Tweaks?

Searched for some, but wasn't sure which would be compatible with this ROM.

Thanks

Edit: And having sent time instead of received time.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chamonix:
I have tested different options in app's manifest but found nothing deterministic yet. It seems one of my apps shows well on different dpi, dunno why though :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
I have one, not sure who posted it though, but it was from this thread
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Entropy512:
I'm not sure if there is a real attitude of "posturing and elitism" from the more experienced kernel developers - Most of the really experienced ones are big "open source" guys, however:

1) Tolerance for "stupid questions" from those who clearly haven't done their research is always very low.

2) Same for people who obviously haven't read basic documentation

3) Many of us who make a point of sharing our work are annoyed by those who don't. For a while I provided gokhanmoral with some suggestions based on my own experience, but I don't even visit the SiyahKernel thread any more. Too many broken releases, no wonder people salivate for updates because he keeps breaking ****. He has potential, but his ego is too big. He thinks he can "go it alone", ignoring the fact that nearly all of the most successful open-source projects out there, including the mainline Linux kernel, are major team efforts.

I make it a point to not put in mega-commits to my kernel, and also to fully document any commit I make so people can learn. I also do this because I realize I'm not perfect and might make a mistake - there's a reason the AOSP project (Along with Cyanogenmod) has a very robust code review system. Also, when I give credit, I don't just throw a bunch of names as "shout-outs" - if I pulled a commit from someone, they get credit for that feature in my changelog. (Netarchy/Ninpo credits are all over my log due to lots of cherrypicking from Ninphetamine...)

So yeah, I laugh at developers who are clearly in this for the ego boost and because they're donation-whores, who do not play nice with others. I have little respect for those who market the crap out of their ROMs "all show and no go".

I lost my VR boot animation just by flashing speedmod kernel, would this be the kernel's fault or the rom?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
ahaha, i think its your fault :P another noob moment or you are just trolling..

read the speedmod thread or search for boot animation in that thread.... it doesn't support boot animation straight off.

there is someone that made it work though :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
WTF you on about?

Ask a question and you label them a n00b and a troll, im niether you tosser.

I didnt realise speedmod didnt support this.

... Next time, it would be best if you didnt post.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
woah, sorry man. :eek:

sensitive and angry much. Don't read or search is a noob moment..

I didn't call you a noob and was hoping you werent being a troll so no need to be so angry and defensive over bruised ego or whatever...

I even told you the reason of your problem and the answer as well so I actually did help you...

the nice reply would've been;

"oops, i should've read the speedmod thread more.. thanks man... :D"
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
I read the info for the kernel, and i couldnt see the information for boot animations.

... Im certainly not reading through 400+ of posts to find an answer.

No worries tho, VR boot animation is now active with no help from yourself. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
lol, so sour :p

yeah, the solution was not posted by hardcore himself but it was some other user.

you'd need to search the thread for that as mentioned in my first reply.

since you haven't done the search, :D of course I was of no help to you...

thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mrvirginia:
current themes/themers still continue to incorporate old system apps. so essentially, when you're upgrading to whatever ROM, and you're flashing that theme you're reverting back to some old crap. seems to defeat some of the purpose of upgrading in the first place.

it is because of this that i still continue to cook my own stuff in.

sorry, no offense to the theme kids, i just don't trust 'em

also, some full ROMs here that have been themed are even like this out of the gate.
